Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are very common cardiac arrhythmias, detected on up to 75% of Holter monitors of ambulatory patients.1 Although PVCs in the setting of advanced structural heart disease have independent negative prognostic implications,2 the majority of PVCs are quite benign, associated with neither symptoms nor signals of future harm. For an important minority, PVCs…

Ventricular arrhythmias are designated idiopathic when demonstrable structural heart disease, significant coronary disease including coronary spasm or genetic arrhythmia syndromes are absent.1 These arrhythmias may be benign but are also a recognised cause of sudden cardiac death. The common form of idiopathic ventricular tachycardia (VT) originates in the ventricular outflow tracts, manifest…

Premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) are the most common ventricular arrhythmia. Their prognostic significance cannot be interpreted without considering the presence or absence of any associated underlying cardiac condition. In the absence of structural heart disease, PVCs were generally considered to be benign.1,2 In the 1970s and 1980s, it was postulated that frequent PVCs could be a trigger…

Cardiomyopathies are heterogeneous heart muscle disorders with a wide range of aetiologies and clinical manifestations. They are often defined by their causes (i.e. hypertension, prior myocardial infarction, valvular heart disease), although current major society definitions describe cardiomyopathy as the presence of abnormal myocardial structure and/or function in the absence of underlying…

Idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias (IVAs) usually originate from the specific anatomical structures. For the past decade, major IVA origins from both endocardial and epicardial sites have been increasingly recognised (see Table 1).1–3 Catheter ablation of IVAs is usually safe and highly successful, but can sometimes be challenging because of the anatomical obstacles. Therefore, understanding the…
